The notification inbox for web/mobile applications.
MagicBell is the notification inbox for web & mobile apps. As consumers of many apps, we have personally experienced the growing volume of notifications - many of which add to our anxiety instead of helping us manage it. MagicBell is on a mission to end this chaos and help every app deliver a stellar notification experience. We do this by offering a beautifully designed notification inbox that apps can embed in their products in minutes. We do all the heavy lifting related to real-time delivery & syncing, web & mobile push notifications, email notifications, and even notification preference management. We sit at an interesting intersection of a dev tool & a productivity tool for end-users. We are helping every app make its users more productive!
MagicBell offers a multichannel push notification service that routes messages across email, mobile push, web push, Slack, SMS, and in-app inbox through a single API. It emphasizes built-in user preferences, delivery observability, and easy integration with multiple providers.
MagicBell provides a REST API and SDKs (React, Node.js, Ruby, Python, Go) to send a single broadcast that is automatically routed to the appropriate channels based on per-user preferences and delivery rules. It supports multiple delivery channels (APNS, FCM, SendGrid, Slack, SMS, SMTP inbox, etc.), tracks delivery status and engagement (delivered, opened, failed), and offers a delivery planner with fallback rules and channel priorities. Developers manage devices, channels, and preferences without building notification infrastructure from scratch, and can query detailed event logs and raw payloads for debugging.
Who it’s for: Developers and product teams at web and mobile applications building multichannel notification experiences who want centralized routing, user preferences, and observability.
Public product pages, emphasis on free tier and scalability, mentions of 1,000+ deliveries in free plan and multiple integrations suggest early traction and ongoing growth

iOS 16.5 ships with a standards based web-push notifications, but you need a PWA to try it out
The team builds WebPushTest.com and opens its code to demonstrate iOS 16.5’s web push notifications for PWAs, aiming to enable native-like push presence without native apps or wrappers. The project includes a Hacker News feed push option and claims to avoid personal data tracking, inviting feedback and sharing.
